Poor Haiti. Such a broken place.

[Bon mots]

Hmmm... the blacks killed off all the whites and then turned on the mixed in Haiti leaving behind an entirely black nation in our hemisphere.

Now they will move to the other half of the same island, where mixed population is faring much better. In a few years, they will outnumber the Domincans, shreik for justice, have an electoral majority and rule both halves.

Then they will be able to create a truly miserable place.

When I was in Puerto Plata, D.R., the Dominicans hated Haitians. They only tolerated them when they came to harvest cane and then go home.

One sure way for a woman to lose all her friends was to carry a burden on her head in public like the Haitians were wont to do.

I met Haitian kids on the beach trying to sell carved coconuts to the tourists. Slovenly kids - quite unlike the clean, polite and responsible Dominican kids that I met in the Barrio. (I actually wished that I could have grown up in that Barrio on the mountainside above Puerto Plata.)
